41 : In serologic testing on a patient with a hypothetical disease, the following results were obtained

a)      acute specimen titer       1.8

b)      post specimen titer         1.32

Your best conclusion would be

a. Inconclusive, the results do not show a fold rise

b. Repeat the test with another specimen to see if a 1:128 or four fold increase occurs

c. Conclusive the patient has a four fold rise
